Day 23
(My apologies for posting this late - I typed it all in and forgot to submit it. WTB)
A busy day in Edmonton; and a lot of fun. We went to the WEM (West Edmonton Mall). Unless you have been here you would not believe how big it is. We covered the whole thing and took lots of pictures (sorry I only put one on the blog, but we still have the others). I think I was most impressed by the water park. I wanted to rent some skates and go on the ice rink - but we did not have enough time. We had a late lunch at the WEM, then headed downtown to see the buskers street festival. It gave us a chance to see office buildings and see that Edmonton is a city like any other city. The buskers were what you would expect. After about an hour of that we had seen enough; so, since we were parked next to the casino Carole and I had to convince the rest that we should go make a donation. In they went kicking and screaming; and out they came with 3 of us being winners - I was in third place with winnings of $27.75 (Sharon lost $5).
One last comment about the campground. One guy driving his 5th wheel out obviously did not check his hitch and dropped his trailer on his truck - what an ugly sight; and Marcel, Winston and I were walking in the morning and hear this awful bang and 40 feet away we see a trailer fall off it legs and tip forward, as we get closer we see the trailer behind it pushed forward and off its legs and then find a B-class had either backed into it or was left in gear without a driver and ran into it, an even uglier site (pun in 10 did).
